However, also first of her three opportunities for growth, so that's an advance
Flipside: won't offer any immediate returns, so waiting until now in the Parliament reduces the chances of Labour seeing any benefit from it in #GE29
Good Morning Everyone๐โ๐ป
Day 593 of Lab Govt & with #GE29 3.5 yrs away & the Racist #Reform_UK have appointed their โShadow Cabinetโ๐
FFS 1 of these idiots is not even an MP, so HTF is he going to ask ?s of current HS.
Forming the next govt is concerned dream on #NeverReform
#ToriesGone593 to Deform
Main Q now is whether current UK-EU negotiations run into the sand/long grass, or EU press to get something in place ahead of #GE29 (which might in part depend on whether it looks like turning into #GE26/#GE27)
Good Morning & Happy #SocialistSunday Simunch sir๐โ๐ป
Oh definitely especially when all the failed and voter reject Tories are jumping ship & joining Deform_UK. They getting a Whipping & loosing at #GE29 be a great spectacle.

Oh they definitely will, still long way to go to #GE29

In my constituency Iโve really got little or no choice but to vote LibDem to keep out Con / Rfm. I worry that the Greens may potentially split the LibDem vote & let Rfm in.
The only โknownโ is that #GE29 is a way off & as they say โa week is a long time in politicsโ
I honestly don't understand how Simon Harris is still a TD, let alone a senior minister and party leader!?
Oh well, hopefully he'll lead FG into oblivion in #GE29.
Labour needs to expel Kelly if the Left Alliance has any chance of winning #GE29.
United we win.
Won't be united with a rat in the ranks.
Labour needs to act sooner rather than later.
I imagine the vacated FG seat is a safe one?
I wonder if the World Bank knows what it's getting?
#irishpol
Not quite everything.
Labour's former leader, Alan Kelly, publicly backed the FG presidential candidate & hasn't been expelled from the party.
The Left Alliance won't win #GE29 without discipline.
United we win.
Rats in the ranks, like Kelly, & we lose.
Labour Party needs to act.
#irishpol
If the Left Alliance that gave President Connolly her landslide victory is to have any chance of winning government in #GE29, then Labour must expell Alan Kelly from the party.
His presence undermines both their growing following & electoral credibility.
Disciplined & united we win. A mess lose.
Two weeks ago Micheรกl Martin said Ireland can't address climate change as it 'would polarise society.'
This week he was in Brazil at COP30 telling the world 'we must all unite and act now.'
Total hypocrite not to be trusted. FF need to get rid of him b4 he wipes them all out in #GE29.
Block him. I did.
He starts moderate but then bangs on & on about the spoilers.
Lives in NYC.
His name says it all.
Block & move on.
THE story is not the spoilers but the rise of the Left Alliance.
FF FG are shitting themselves. After 103 years, about bloody time too.๐๐ปโโ๏ธ

Yep.
All last week the Irish media has been banging on about the spoiled vote & 'it's implications'. NOT about the huge win for Connolly & the united left & ITS implications.
When we get a Centre-Left gvt in #GE29 just see the entire Irish MSM suddenly analytically critical of every gvt move!
MSM running the line that the biggest vote in history isn't the real story but a small minority of spoiled votes is so important, is obscene and ridiculous.
FFG propaganda. Not news.
Centre-Left government in #GE29.
THAT'S the elephant that no MSM are talking about. But should be. THAT'S NEWS!
When Ireland has its first ever Centre-Left government after #GE29 what's the betting ALL Irish MSM will suddenly discover journalism?
Every page, every day, will be critically analysing every move of the Government. As it should.
And if it will do it then, why doesn't it do it NOW?
#irishpol
You think?
The big story is the rise of the Left Alliance & potential for Ireland's first ever Left government in #GE29.
So MSM is NOT telling us that story but instead 'poor Micheรกl' the fear of him falling.
Not the joy of fairness rising.
MSM same old, same old.

IF RTE really was a national broadcaster (which it obviously isn't) it would b full of the implications of the Left solidarity that got Connolly the biggest vote in history.
Fast forward to #GE29 & Ireland has its first Left government ever & first female Taoiseach ever. News!

Minor parties will be reluctant to merge their identity and risk losing support. Strategic candidates and strategic voting is a viable alternative.

The facts don't support his claims.
Raw votes - 914,143 - highest ever.
Percentage - 63.4% - highest ever.
Turnout 45.8%
2018 turnout 43.9%
Establishment is shitting itself. After 103 years, about bloody time.
Go the Left Alliance!

To all those Irish who didn't vote...
Ireland CAN change.
You just have to vote for change.
No more excuses that voting won't change anything.

MSM spin is so biased. The big news is the rise of the Left Alliance. Add in Labor, PBP and some independents, the LA is ahead of the Coalition. But the headline is always about FF FG.
If MLM WALKED across the Liffey MSM headline would be: SF LEADER FAILS TO SWIM RIVER!

Interesting. @social-democrats.bsky.social on 9% #GE29
I do hope the Left Alliance continues and wins #GE29.
Need to move along Alan Kelly, and any others who break the solidarity of the Alliance.
Alliance has proved that Ireland CAN change, so it now IS worth voting for change. When enough do that Ireland changes. Today's election result proves it.๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Are there any Social Democrat party members here who live in County Mayo?
I'm thinking of joining the party and would like to learn a bit more than what's on their web before signing up.
DMs welcome.
Thanks
